PEP-Web name change for the “Revue Roumaine De Psychanalyse”

March 9, 2018

Revue Roumaine De Psychanalyse”, which is also published with the name “Romanian Journal of Psychoanalysis”, has shifted towards all English content and has requested PEP to change the running head and listing for the journal to the English version of their name. The journal name has now been changed to the English version on PEP-Web.

Announcing the PEP-Web 2018 Release!

January 22, 2018

We are very pleased to announce the 2018 release of the PEP-Web Archive. The annual release means that another year of the current publications move out of the publisher’s embargo period: subscribers now have access to the 2014 issues of current journals with three year embargoes, and 2012 issues of journals with five year embargoes.

We are very pleased to announce the 2018 release of the PEP-Web Archive. The annual release means that another year of the current publications move out of the publisher’s embargo period: subscribers now have access to the 2014 issues of current journals with three year embargoes, and 2012 issues of journals with five year embargoes. With the addition of Revista de Psicoanálisis, a publication of the Asociación Psicoanalítica Argentina (APA), Volumes 1-27 (1943 – 1970) in July, and the Chinese Annual of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, PEP-Web now has over One Million pages of online journals!

and of course we’ve been adding new videos to PEP-Web throughout the year–with a lot more to come.

Improvements and New Features

We’ve worked to improve the precisionof our links from references to PEP-Web articles. In previous releases, our matching algorithms used heuristics to try to match references to articles, in order to match as many as possible even when the information in the reference is inexact. From user feedback about these links, we’ve now constrained the matching algorithm with a conservative bias towards more precise matches. This should help researchers who use the “Who Cited This” feature at the end of each article, producing a more accurate citation list. However, since it can be useful to find an article closely related to a reference which isn’t currently in the PEP-Web Archive, we’ve created a new “Related” reference link. The related reference link takes the user directly to a potentially related article, based on heuristic analysis of the reference. This method gives readers a means to find a related article, but it can be inaccurate, since the information in a bibliographic reference is limited and not always representative of the content of an article. Our implementation of this feature is very new and we will continue to refine it as the year progresses.

This year we introduce two new important features for PEP:

Original Article Downloads (PDF)

Our PDF download feature has now been enhanced to give users a choice between the PEP-Web rekeyed version of an article, and the original article format from the journal, with all the original formatting. You can choose which type of PDF you want on an article-by-article basis, just by clicking the PDF Download button, which now works as a pull-down menu, selecting one of the two formats.

Collecting 147 years of articles is no small task, and while we are still in the process of backfilling the library, it already contains over 90 thousand original PDFs! The Original PDFs show the actual page layout and formatting of the original publication. To provide the originals, we collected a mix (by the nature of the age and rarity of some journals) of scanner and print-based PDFs (where scanner based PDFs contain “pictures” of the pages rather than being “text-based”).

PEP-Web for mobile devices

Also coinciding with the 2018 is the official release of our web app, PEP-Easy.

Providing an interface more suited to smaller devices than PEP-Web, it brings together most of your favorite PEP-Web features in an easy to use application which can outpace PEP-Web in presentation speed. It allows you to easily read on your browser, as well as download articles in PDF and ePub format. The web app interface also has an internationalization feature that can be configured to display in Spanish or French.

The application is designed to make it quicker and easier to find an article on PEP-Web using mobile devices. You can do simple author and title searches or search full text using more advanced terms like on PEP-Web. You can search and read abstracts without logging in, and you can set your login as persistent to read or download the full-text (or PDFs and ePubs) of articles.

And as a web app, you are always using the latest version. PEP-Easy can be accessed at pepeasy.pep-web.org and will run on smart phones, tablets, and other small mobile devices running a current version of a standard mobile browser. It even runs in your desktop browser! Find out more here.

Our new app: PEP-Easy

We’ve developed and are Beta-testing a new web app, PEP-Easy, which will make it quicker and easier to look up an article on PEP-Web using small mobile devices. You can do simple author and title searches or searches using more advanced terms. Like PEP-Web, you can search and read abstracts without logging in, but you need an account to read or download the full-text of articles. The first public Beta version will be ready in early December at pepeasy.pep-web.org and will run on smart phones, tablets, and other small mobile devices running a current version of a standard mobile browser. Find out more here

“My working definition of psychoanalysis is that it’s the disciplined study of whatever it is people do not want to know about themselves.”

Our film collection

PEP-Web’s got an expanding collection of films, documentaries and interviews about psychoanalysis. In each newsletter we’ll be sharing some of our favourites. Insights in Psychoanalysis is a series of interviews with the world’s most cited analysts. There’s already over 20 available on PEP-Web and the aim is to produce 100.

PEP-Web film wins award

The Mourning After, a film directed by Donna Bassin and funded by PEP-Web, has won the prestigious Gradiva Writer and Directors Award.
The film explores how US veterans are turning the traumatic grief of war into community activism and art. A round-table discussion by senior psychoanalysts illuminates the therapeutic action embedded in these restorative and redemptive activities

How to: Simple searches

Want to get to grips with the basics of searching on PEP-Web? Here’s a quick overview of how to do it.

Don’t forget, there’s lots of other information and frequently asked questions on the support site. Let us know if there’s anything in particular you’d like tips on!

It is with huge pleasure that we announce the launch of The Chinese Annual of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. We believe that making the IJP more accessible to Chinese speakers is crucial to promoting the interchange between Anglophone and Chinese speaking psychoanalysts, and a significant step in further opening up the IJP to non-English speaking psychoanalysts.

The Chinese Annual is a Chinese translation of a selection of papers chosen from the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. Along with the IJP Annuals and IJP Open we hope that the Chinese Annual will help further international connections.

We are very pleased to announce the release of the 2017 version of the PEP-Web Archive. The annual release means that another year of the current publications move out of the publisher’s embargo period: subscribers now have access to the 2013 issues of current journals with three year embargoes, and 2011 issues of journals with five year embargoes. In addition, we’ve added over 43 thousand pages of new material! Available immediately on PEP-Web, we have:

and of course we’ve been adding many new videos to PEP-Web throughout the year–with a lot more to come.

We also want to call your attention to a new journal entry: Psychoanalysis, Self and Context. This is a new name for the International Journal of Applied Psychoanalysis, beginning in 2017. Because of the new name and banner, we’ve given it its own listing and it’s own Table of Volumes to preserve the history of the older issues. The first issue is now part of PEP Current (with full-text search but you may only view abstracts during the standard 3 year embargo of new material). Complete text of new material is available via the publisher site.

PEP-Web A Library of Premier Journals, Classic Books, and Videos

This new 2017 release of PEP-Web contains the complete text and illustrations of 72 premier journals in psychoanalysis, 100 classic psychoanalytic books, and the full text and Editorial notes of the 24 volumes of the Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud as well as the 19 volume German Freud Standard Edition Gesammelte Werke. It spans over 146 publication years and contains the full text of articles whose source ranges from 1871 through 2017. There are 109,500 articles and over 15,400 figures and illustrations that originally resided on 2214 volumes with over 993,600 printed pages. In hard copy, the PEP Archive represents a stack of paper more than 325 feet high — taller than Big Ben — and weighing over 4 tons!

PEP-Web 2017 includes new videos–we add videos throughout the year. We now have 75 videos on PEP-Web and we have many new videos planned for 2017. All videos are professionally transcribed and full-text indexed. So when you search the article database, you can also search all the videos!

PEP-Web 2017 also includes continuing weekly additions to IJP-Open, where you can view papers submitted to the International Journal of Psychoanalysis before peer review and before the process of development and selection, and participate in the discussion.

We are very pleased to announce a new feature on PEP-Web: Video Previews.

Currently, PEP-Web can be searched without logging in, making the powerful database of psychoanalytic literature useful to everyone.

Now we’ve added a video preview feature, to allow articles with videos to show a short excerpt of the video for users who are not subscribers, or whenever you are not logged in. In addition, the video previews are now integrated into the search feature, so results lists show the preview rather than a static image like before. If you have previews turned off in the search options at the top of the search results, make sure you turn them on:

The previews are authored excerpts to give you a good flavor for the video, rather than being just the first moments of the video. However, this means that we have to take time to author the excerpts, so not all videos are available as previews yet. We will continue to add them over time, both for new videos and those already published on PEP-Web.

Announcing the new “Quick Search” feature!

April 28, 2016

We are very pleased to announce a new feature on PEP-Web: Quick Search!

We are very pleased to announce a new feature on PEP-Web: Quick Search!

The new Quick Search field allows you to perform word and phrase searches of document content without first going to the search tab. It’s available at all times at the top of the PEP-Web page, right above our banner. The menu from that position has been moved to the left side of the page. Just click in the field, type your search, and press enter! Or click the search icon in the field.

The new Quick Search works just the same as the “Search for Words or Phrases in Context” box on the Search Tab. The name “Quick Search” is not meant to imply that the searches are faster–instead it means access to it is more convenient, and you can quickly try several different terms without clicking to select the field again and again. And like the word search area of the search tab, by using advanced search syntax, you can do very advanced searches.

So, for example, you can do these types of searches, right from the Quick Search field:

Search Text

Meaning

transference and countertransference

Both words must be present

transference or countertransference

Either word can be present

transference and not countertransference

Only transference must be present

transference w/5 countertransference

Transference must occur within 5 words of countertransference

transference not w/5 countertransference

Transference must not occur within 5 words of countertransference

apply~

Search for apply or other forms of the word , including applied, applies. This is known as “Word Stemming”

~anger

Use the PEP Thesaurus to expand anger with it's synonyms and search for matches to any of them.

Note also that it will keep your previous searches for you, in your browser’s session memory, so that you can quickly recall a prior search term or phrase. The list will appear as soon as you start typing in the field.

While developing this feature, we fixed a few “search bugs that had snuck into PEP-Web! The word stemming and thesaurus features of our search interface had become problematic, but they have now been fixed. One of the problems was that the thesaurus operator which was “&”, was no longer being detected correctly. We’ve opted to change that to a tilde (“~”) at the beginning of a word, which is consistent with Google search syntax. The stemming operator–which searches various forms of the same word–remains the same, a tilde (“~”) at the end of the word. Moving the thesaurus operator to the beginning of the word also means that these can be combined and those can be combined with the other advanced search syntax as well.

We know how important search is to PEP-Web users, and we wanted to make sure searches were as convenient as possible. We hope you find it helpful!

New Videos and Some New Features!

January 5, 2016

The first two videos from the PEP/UCL Top Authors Project are now available in the video area!

The first two videos from the PEP/UCL Top Authors Project are now available in the video area!

We’ve also made a few changes to the PEP-Web website: we’ve reorganized the menu, and placed some of the options at the top of PEP-Web. The idea was to make the support options easier to find, and the new data error reporting form option more convenient.

Here’s why it needs to be convenient: if you find an error in the data on PEP-Web, you should select (highlight) the erroneous text BEFORE you click the “Report a Data Error” option. The text you select will be automatically included in the form, as will the address of the article in which you have found the error. Sometimes, errors are reproduced directly from the original article, so it’s helpful to tell us whether you’ve checked it against the original. You can tell us that in the “Explain why you think this is an Error” field of the form.

And there’s more to come…in a few weeks we will publish the 2016 Release of PEP-Web!

New Feature – Tips! And with it, a completely new Support site!

PEP has quietly rolled out a new feature to PEP-Web. At the bottom of the PEP Banner we now have a “tip feature” which will help you get the most of PEP-Web, and help you to use PEP-Web more efficiently and effectively. Originally, we thought we might offer a tip of the day feature, or one new tip each day. But we’ve decided to randomly show a new tip each time the page is refreshed. So you’ll get multiple tips each day!

You will only be able to view the first part of the tip until you hover over the tip. Then a pop-up box shows up with the full tip. Also, at the bottom of the tip, there’s a link that takes you to the support page where you can see the entire list of tips.

When you click on “See PEP-Web tips” (at the bottom of the tip) you will notice that you are now on the new PEP Support site! You can find information about PEP-Web, subscriptions, support, and direct access to the PEP-Web digital archive.

Other easy ways to get to the support site:

Click on Psychoanalytic Electronic Publishing on the PEP-Web banner area.
or

Click “Help” at the bottom of the PEP-Web page
or

Use the web address (URL) http://support.pep-web.org. Note that it’s just the URL PEP-Web, prefixed with the word “support”.

We hope that the new tip feature, and the new support site, helps make your use of PEP-Web more efficient and enjoyable. And we look forward to continuing to improve it over time.

It is with huge pleasure that we announce the launch of the Spanish online version of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis – IJP en español (IJP-es). As the third most spoken language in the world, Spanish is also one of the most important IPA languages. We believe that making the IJP more accessible to Spanish speakers is crucial to promoting the interchange between Anglophone and Spanish speaking psychoanalysts, and a significant step in further opening up the IJP to non-English speaking psychoanalysts.

IJP en español is a Spanish translation of the entire International Journal, excluding book reviews. Issues of IJP en español will appear on PEP approximately two months following the publication of the International Journal, bimonthly – April (Number 1), June (Number 2), August (Number 3), October (Number 4), December (Number 5), February (Number 6).

Along with the IJP Annuals and IJP Open we hope that IJP en español will help further international connections.

As promised, we are going to be adding new features to PEP throughout 2015.

Today we rolled out a new feature to the IJPOpen Table of Contents where you can change the default presentation order from Section (category) based, to sort instead by the Most Recent articles first, or the articles with the Most Recent Comments first. Since IJPOpen is generally updated weekly and comments can be added any time, this will make it very easy to see what’s new!

Just use the “Sort By” pull down menu in the gray information area above the journal to select the sort order. The sort order is retained for the current session or until you change it again.

Of course, don’t forget you can also keep up with what’s new by signing up for New Article Alerts and New Comments Alerts!

Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud was published in 24 volumes in the UK from 1950 onwards by the Institute of Psycho-Analysis and Hogarth Press.

The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review articles appear in this PEP Archive courtesy of grants from the Nordic Council for Scientific Information and Bertil Wennborg Foundation.

We would like to acknowledge the heirs of C.G. Jung for allowing us to publish his correspondences with Freud. This and the other classic books are also available from their original publishers in printed format. For more information about printed versions of the Jung-Freud Correspondences, refer to these websites http://pup.princeton.edu/ and https://www.routledge.com/mentalhealth

We have had a problem in recent weeks with our video transcription player (the scrollable text area to the right of each video). It hasn’t been able to synchronize with or control the video player due to changes in the video player itself. We’ve fixed this by incorporating a new transcription player (it looks very similar to the old one).

The player now can (once again) follow along in synchrony as the video progresses, showing you the text currently being spoken. But more importantly, you can use the search box at the top of the transcription player to find a word or phrase in the transcription, and then start watching the corresponding portion of the video just by clicking on the text you found. Or you can just scroll it to browse the transcript, then click to start the video at any point.

We apologize for any inconvenience with the older player’s malfunction. And we hope you find the new player meets your needs.

Our apologies – We were offline temporarily

November 6, 2016

There was a hardware problem at our hosting center that resulted in PEP-Web being offline for a few sporatic periods on Sunday.

As of 11pm on Sunday, the problem appears to be resolved, and PEP-Web is back online.

We apologize for any inconvenience that caused.

In addition, we’ve added a lot of new material! Available immediately on PEP-Web, we have:

A New Glossary added to the PEP Consolidated Psychoanalytic Glossary!

We’ve added a new glossary–the “Psychoanalytic Terms and Concepts” by Auchincloss, E. L. and Samberg, E. (2012)–to the PEP Consolidated Glossary and enhanced the linking and categorization of terms.

A Library of Premier Journals, Classic Books, and Videos

This new 2016 release of PEP-Web contains the complete text and illustrations of 68 premier journals in psychoanalysis, 100 classic psychoanalytic books, and the full text and Editorial notes of the 24 volumes of the Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud as well as the 19 volume German Freud Standard Edition Gesammelte Werke. It spans over 145 publication years and contains the full text of articles whose source ranges from 1871 through 2016. There are over 105,000 articles and over 14,900 figures and illustrations that originally resided on 2112 volumes with over 950,000 printed pages. In hard copy, the PEP Archive represents a stack of paper more than 311 feet high and weighing over 4 tons!

PEP-Web 2016 includes new videos–we add videos throughout the year. We now have 40 videos and we have many new videos planned for 2016. All videos are professionally transcribed and full-text indexed. So when you search the article database, you can also search all the videos.

PEP-Web 2016 also includes continuing weekly additions to IJP-Open, where you can view papers submitted to the International Journal of Psychoanalysis before peer review and before the process of development and selection, and participate in the discussion.

PEP-Web is currently experiencing some sporadic problems due to abnormally high login traffic. If you have a problem, wait a little while and try your login again. While the message says that your login was not found, if you are using your usual credentials then rest assured when the traffic spike is over, you will be able to login with those credentials.

We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve the problem.

As promised, we are adding many new features this year. Now, we are pleased to announce that we have completely redesigned the workings of the author index. This index is now in place on PEP-Web, though we need your help to complete the transition.

The author index now shows complete last and first names as published, and middle initial, rather than showing last name and initials. This means that the name, when you click on it, will produce a more specific list, separating authors who share the same last name and initials. In other words, all the authors named “Smith, J.” will no longer appear as only one entry, and a combined publication list, if their names are, for example, John Smith and Joseph Smith. Instead, they will appear as Smith, John and Smith, Joseph.

We also have a mechanism in place to consolidate names that were published in an inconsistent manner, which results in a single author’s list being split across multiple index entries. If John Q. Smith has published with and without his middle initial, then both forms will appear in the index: Smith, John and Smith, John Q. We now have a way to consolidate these easily, without changing the information on the article. But when we see John Smith and John Q. Smith have published, it’s not always clear to us that it’s the same person. So we are asking our users and more particularly, our authors, to help by reporting on a form the names that need to be consolidated or otherwise fixed.

When you click either of these buttons, the article you are reading is automatically downloaded to your device so that you can read the article even when you are not connected to the Internet. You don’t need to download both…download whichever best meets your needs. Below we explain the advantages of each format.

Download PDF: The new PDF feature is oriented toward on-screen reading. In this case, the PDFs are reproduced a single page per output page, to look more like a journal page, and to make the text less wide and less dense and easy to read electronically (rather than printed). The PDF bookmarks feature is utilized to provide a Table of Contents (table of section headings). Links are active, and take you to the associated section of the document for within-document jumps, and to PEP-Web for links to other PEP-Web articles (for links to PEP-Web, it requires that you are online). PDF works on all size devices, but since line length does not change to accommodate screen size, you may have to scroll left and right to read lines, or zoom in and out, depending on your device screen size.

Download EPub: ePub is a standard book reader format which is reflowable, which is to say it allows more flexibility in page layout. The ePub format is ideal for reading on phones and smaller devices. You need to have a eBook reader app to read ePub format (and many phones and tablets come with one standard). The real benefit over PDF is that the text wraps to fit your device perfectly. Depending on what reader you use, the fonts are also scalable, so that text is at a comfortable size for reading. On some devices, you can even set it to display multiple columns of text. Where possible, a Table of Contents is provided using the section headings. Links are active, and take you to the associated section of the document for within-document jumps, and to PEP-Web for links to other PEP-Web articles (for links to PEP-Web, it requires that you are online).

Notes:

1) On some devices, the downloaded file will open automatically in the associated application after it’s finished.

2) PEP-Web doesn’t have all the original journal’s font information and styling–all journals are displayed in PEP’s standardized styling). Because of this, pages sometimes contain more text than the page size allows, and a single page may flow onto a second page. Since the intent here is primarily onscreen reading while offline, we hope this won’t be an inconvenience.

Announcing the PEP-Web 2015 Release!

January 16, 2015

We have great things in store for you this year! There are lots of exciting new features planned, and rather than our traditional schedule of a data release in January, and a midyear “all-at-once” feature release, we will be starting a new continuous improvement schedule, where we will be adding new features throughout the year.

We have great things in store for you this year! There are lots of exciting new features planned, and rather than our traditional schedule of a data release in January, and a midyear “all-at-once” feature release, we will be starting a new continuous improvement schedule, where we will be adding new features throughout the year.

First, let’s start by announcing the new content that’s been added to PEP-Web for 2015.

Two new journals:

Jahrbuch der Psychoanalyse (1964 – current)

DIVISION/Review (2011 – current)

And a PEP Exclusive:

International Journal of Psychoanalysis en Español (new, first issue coming in March 2015)

Full text access to another year of current data

2011 issues now available for most PEP journals (most have a 3 year publication embargo)

2009 issues now available for American Imago and Psyche (these have a 5 year publication embargo)

New Videos Added (we add these as they become available)

The first of the 2013 PEP Grant videos, “Black Psychoanalysts Speak” debuted in December

This new version of PEP-Web contains the complete text and illustrations of 58 premier journals in psychoanalysis, 96 classic psychoanalytic books, and the full text and Editorial notes of the 24 volumes of the Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud as well as the 19 volume German Freud Standard Edition Gesammelte Werke. It spans over 144 publication years and contains the full text of articles whose source ranges from 1871 through 2015. There are over 97 thousand articles and over 13 thousand figures and illustrations that originally resided on 1956 volumes with over 892 thousand printed pages. In hard copy, the PEP Archive represents a stack of paper more than 292 feet high and weighing over 4.0 tons!

A Sample of the New Features and Upgrades in this version and planned in the coming weeks:

New Video Tab Design: We are making the video navigation better, with an easy to access integrated list of videos from all the videostreams, and a new bibliographic style view.

New Offsite Articles Feature: You will soon notice a new source option on the search form “Articles of Interest on the Web”. When you do a search, the results may include hand picked articles that aren’t available on PEP-Web. Selecting one of these articles from the results will open a window with the external website loaded at the point of access or purchase of the article.

New Tip feature: Soon there will be a tip of the day feature to help you learn and use PEP-Web more efficiently.

Tutorials: We are working on new tutorials to help you use PEP-Web more effectively.

New “slide up” Freud SE/GW translations: Rather than the current popups, hovering now allows the translation to slide up from the bottom of the screen, which makes it easier to select text and copy/paste from these documents. Also, we have a new option to turn off the translation feature when you are not interested in seeing the translations.

Improved print formatting: Print formatting has been improved, and the coming offline features will offer additional ways to obtain a more traditional printed copy.

Improved author index: The index will using full author first and last name to make it more precise when you select an author to view.

A new sorting option for articles in IJP Open: Makes it easy to browse the newest articles.

Offline viewing options: we are working on several new ways to read PEP-Web articles when you are offline!

Better support for mobile devices: Better formatting and support for Touch Icons so you can save an icon on your mobile device desktop with the beautiful new PEP Logo and jump right to PEP from your home screen. Also we will be working to improve formatting and display on mobile devices.

The PEP Archive is available 24×7 from any location. We support Open-URL and a number of authentication standards, making it easy to integrate into your own on-line library resources (see PEP Help for more info).

PEP-Web Tip: What’s New?

February 28, 2014

The “What’s new” section on the left side of PEP-Web shows the latest additions to PEP-Web. New data is added, as available, towards the end of every week (late Thursday or Friday). So, for example, this week we’ve added: Brit. J. Psychother., Vol 29, 2013, Issues 1-4 and Vol 30, 2014, Issue 1. [see Note 1]see [… [ + ]

The “What’s new” section on the left side of PEP-Web shows the latest additions to PEP-Web. New data is added, as available, towards the end of every week (late Thursday or Friday).

[Note 1]. Since these are current content, due to contractual restrictions, only tables of contents and abstracts are available.

[Note 2]. To make sure as much as possible is covered, what’s new will only show the last new issue of any particular journal (so even if there’s more than one issue that arrives, you’ll only see the last.)

PEP has, in an interim release (v13), added the complete contents (67 volumes) of the German language journal Psyche – Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse to PEP Archive (1947-2013). Note that users of the Google Chrome browser can get translations of articles simply by right clicking and selecting “Translate to…”. Due to contractual obligations, Psyche has a… [ + ]

Due to contractual obligations, Psyche has a 5 year embargo, so the full text of articles from 1947 through 2007 is available to PEP Archive subscribers. Articles from 2008 and after are full-text searchable but shown on PEP-Web as abstracts only. To obtain complete articles and issues from 2008 through the latest issue, please go to the Klett-Cotta Website where PDFs of the articles or issues can be purchased.

Psyche appears thanks to a private benefactor and TROUT whose mission is to broaden access to the German psychoanalytic literature through PEP.

Video now available on PEP-Web

We have now added video capabilities to PEP-Web, and have also added the first batch of videos! We treat videos like articles, and organize them into videostreams, which are like video journals. Best of all, the dialog for each video is transcribed, so the full text of each video can be searched just like any other article on PEP-Web, and you can access any point of the video by selecting the corresponding text in the video widget.

The initial release of the PEP Videostream is very limited in content. The platform is now in place, however, and we will be looking to bring together and preserve all existing audio visual material of interest and relevance to psychoanalytic thinking, practice and research, as well as to encourage the creation of new material. As a result, we expect the available material to grow rapidly and for the video archive to become a valuable resource for research, study and teaching. You can read the entire press release for PEP’s new video feature here, and find out more about contributing videos. There is $100,000 dollars available for grants to make videos about Psychoanalytic Practice and Thinking!

Automatic Translation of Articles

July 1, 2013

If you are using Google Chrome as your browser, you can have articles automatically translated to your language by right clicking and selecting “Translate to …”.

We are considering adding support for Google translate in other browsers in a future edition of PEP-Web.

You will see a complete list of journals available. Next, click on the journal you want to browse, and you’ll see a… [ + ]

Click on the Journals or Books Tab on the left in your browser while working with PEP-Web for a full list of the PEP-WEB content.

Browsing by Journal and Volume. Click on the Journal tab to the left. You will see a complete list of journals available. Next, click on the journal you want to browse, and you’ll see a list of volumes and corresponding years for that journal. Lastly, click on the volume, and you’ll get a complete Table of Contents for that volume. Click on the article to read that article. While reading the article, you will be in the Document Tab and the left browsing list will not be shown. To get back to the browsing mode, click the Contents Tab at the top

Browsing Books. Click on the Books Tab to the left. You will see a complete list of books available. Next, click on the book you want to access, and it will open in the main Document Tab. If you are not a subscriber, or you are not logged in, you will only see the very beginning of the book. To get back to the browsing mode, click the Home Tab at the top.

Searching. The Search Tab on the left can be used to search the FULL TEXT of all the content on PEP-WEB, including both PEP Archive and PEP Current Content (2010 and newer). The search is FREE: you don’t need to login to search or read abstracts and summaries of books and articles, or the first few paragraphs when an abstract isn’t available.

Help! To get more detailed help, click “Help” at the bottom of the PEP-WEB window. (Note that the help pages are currently being updated and may not reflect the most recent look of PEP-WEB.)

What can I Access?

Everyone can search and browse. Everyone has access to the tables of contents, the abstracts (or first few paragraphs if there isn’t an abstract). In other words, if you don’t have a subscription, you can browse and perform full text search of the entire archive, but only the abstracts or first 1000 characters or so of the article will be accessible.

PEP Archive subscribers can view the complete text of journal volumes through 2009 (as available) and all books. To view the complete text of the articles, you must be logged in. If you see “Logout” to the left of the Home Tab then the system has recognized and authenticated your rights. If you see the text “Login”, click it to authenticate or for further information as to how to sign in.

24 hour pass available. If you are not yet a subscriber but need instant access, PEP now offers a low cost 24 hour pass to all the journals in the archive (through 2009). Note that this does not include access to the books. Please see: http://support.pep-web.org/subscribe/24-hour-pass/.

PEP Current Content (2010 – present) is always searchable, but access is limited. If you are a PEP Archivesubscriber only, you will not be able to read articles after 2009, which are part of PEP Current Content. The PEP Archive contains books and articles through the end of 2009. Current Content volumes are those afterwards. Click here for more information on PEP Current Content.
